VILLAGE OF ILION CEMETERY

Part 5

Town of German Flatts

Herkimer County, NY

The list of the large Village of Ilion Cemetery on Benedict Avenue, in the Town of German Flatts, was
donated to us by Susan Perkins of the Herkimer County Historical Society. At the time the reading was taken,
the readers were able to discern 3,251 unique stones or named vaults! Names were not written down in any
alphabetical order but in the order in which they started reading the stones.

Since early Mohawk Valley surnames, as well as those of later 19th century immigrants, are well-represented
in this cemetery, we expect many visitors to this site to find a family member. If you do, or know the
relationships of people who rest here, we'd appreciate it if you'd give something back to this site by
sending the site coordinators info about who you find on this list. Your information will also be posted on line in a footnotes
section. If you find someone and don't have further information, a search can be ordered from the Herkimer
County Historical Society.
